If you are talking about ripping DVD's to mpeg files, you would need something like dvd decryptor (which is possibly the same program you would use to rip to dvd files) or the ripit4me family or womething like that.

With dvd decryptor, you can rip in ifo mode, it makes one large vob file with the whole movie on it (under ifo settings tell it not to break the file up into smaller sizes). This can then be renamed as an mpeg file. I typically run this file through videoredo, tends to have a lot of errors that sometimes affects BTV and leads to audio sync issues. You can also take your existing iso file or VIDEO_TS directory on a hard drive, and use Videoredo's joiner to link all the film vob's and make an mpeg out of that. I still run that through a second pass just to remove any frame errors. I typically compress this file to xvid with autogk, which you can also do with the ifo file from you Video_ts folder directly (although sometimes you end up with audio synch issues there as well).

For iso files, isobuster will let you extract them to disk.

There are other ways to do this, this is just off the top of my head, not sure your level of expertise. Instead of videoredo there are freeware apps, someone else can chime in on that.
